Nisha N Kannan is Wellcome Trust DBT India Alliance Fellow and Assistant Professor at IISER TVM. Research in her lab is broadly focused on understanding the genetic basis and neural circuits underlying the circadian clock-mediated metabolism, sleep, and memory. To this end, we use the model organism fruit fly Drosophila which offers convenient tools for conducting comprehensive genetic, molecular, and behavioral studies.
